969: Chapter 261_3 969: Chapter 261_3 Indeed, it was remarkable that their connection to the Central Five Provinces was exactly at a depression, allowing them to border the Central Five Provinces on three sides.
However, it was unfathomable how the situation they were currently facing could exist, where two opposing sides bordered the Central Five Provinces, while the other two sides in between did not.
Unless what they were seeing was not the Central Five Provinces, then what place could it be?
At this time, not only was the Eastern Wasteland supposed to connect with the Central Five Provinces, but other regions like Dongliang, Dongjiang, and the Southern Wasteland were also expected to link up.
So, could it be that this time what they saw was not the core southwestern provinces, but places like the Southern Wasteland and Northern Wasteland?
Before this, the people of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, although unaware that the Eastern Wasteland would connect to the Central Five Provinces, had always heard rumors of places such as Dongjiang, Dongliang, and the Southern Wasteland.
Exactly how these messages were passed down was unknown.
Cao Zhen now had only a rough guess, but specifically how, he was utterly unable to judge.
“You all continue to stay at the Hundred Peaks Sect.
If there’s any situation, provide support to all sides immediately.
I’m going first to the Cliff-Watching Sect to take a look and will not return to the Hundred Peaks Sect for the time being.”
He had already tried to enter the white mist they had seen here, but it was impassable, so he would go to another place where there was white mist.
Originally, he did not plan to return to the Hundred Peaks Sect, but now he was at one end of the Eastern Wasteland and needed to go to the other end, crossing not just the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty but the entire Eastern Wasteland.
Because he was alone piloting the flying boat and it would take too long, just as flying to the other end of the Eastern Wasteland required passing by the Hundred Peaks Sect, he thought about it and returned to the Hundred Peaks Sect to bring Zhu Peng and Duo Duo.
He had spent very little time with the two disciples, interacted too little, and had never taken the two disciples out, so on this occasion, he decided to bring his two youngest disciples.
The three of them piloted the flying boat together and flew toward the distance.
Days passed by one after another.
In the Great Lai Dynasty, Little Bei Yan had waited three more days before finally leaving for the newly established Celestial Plum Sect by Qiao Jingyao.
After so many days without any activity here, he could not continue to wait any longer.
More importantly, at the Celestial Plum Sect, there were a few disciples who needed more of his teaching, including one disciple who was at a critical moment in their cultivation.
He needed to take this disciple to the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Currently, at the Celestial Plum Sect, the two disciples with the best talent were one cultivating the Wood Attribute, which Qiao Jingyao could teach, but another disciple with the best talent possessed an Innate Fire Body.
Initially, Qiao Jingyao didn’t want to accept this disciple.
She felt that if she were tasked with teaching, she would not only fail but also harm the disciple.
She had suggested that the child go to the Hundred Peaks Sect, where there are several Fire System Peaks.
But the child was determined to join the Celestial Plum Sect.
At the time, when the three major Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty disbanded, the entire Great Lai Dynasty became incredibly chaotic.
After Qiao Jingyao arrived, she happened to encounter rampant bandits and saved a child from several mountain bandits.
Unexpectedly, this child possessed an Immortal Body, and would not join any other Immortal Sect but insisted on joining the Celestial Plum Sect.
With no other choice, Qiao Jingyao had to accept the child.
Lately, it was often Little Bei Yan teaching this child since, although Little Bei Yan did not primarily practice Fire Techniques, he knew them, and his junior sister also practiced Fire Techniques.
Now it was no problem for him to teach, but later, they would need to trouble Yi Sheng to come and teach the child more.
Besides, his return to the Celestial Plum Sect was already agreed upon.
Because he needed to take the child to the Vermilion Bird Peak to immerse in the Vermilion Bird Blood Pool.
This child, being a girl and with a Fire Immortal Body, naturally suited the Vermilion Bird Blood Pool the most.
Although the Vermilion Bird Blood Pool of Vermilion Bird Peak was generally forbidden for outsiders and even some disciples of Vermilion Bird Peak could not immerse in it,
their relationship was different, after all.
The Peak Master of Vermilion Bird Peak was his master, and if he asked his master, could she really refuse?
Of course, she agreed, and they even set a definite date.
They could not go back on their commitment.
After all, using the Vermilion Bird Blood Pool was not simply a matter of stepping in whenever; many people were queued up for the immersion.
Thus, once the time was confirmed, it was mandatory to go, and Little Bei Yan could only return to the Celestial Plum Sect, take the disciple, and temporarily leave the Great Lai Dynasty to head to the Hundred Peaks Sect first.
“Jing Yao, I have to leave here temporarily.
Once I return to the Hundred Peaks Sect, I’ll come back here immediately.
I’ve been watching this place for many days now, and there has been no change in the mist across.
It seems there won’t be any trouble.
Moreover, I’m only leaving for a few days.
You don’t need to worry about that situation; just focus on teaching the disciples in the sect.”
Bei Yan offered a few words of comfort to Qiao Jingyao before he departed.
Watching Bei Yan leave, Qiao Jingyao sighed softly.
Although Bei Yan had not said it, she knew that getting this opportunity for her disciple to enter Vermilion Bird Peak and the Vermilion Bird Blood Pool was not easy.
Li Ke was indeed Bei Yan’s master, but Li Ke was not yet married to Cao Zhen, and moreover, being the temporary Peak Master of Vermilion Bird Peak during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, not the permanent Peak Master, she had to consider the feelings of other disciples in the Peak.
